Traveler reviews
Up, Up and Away!
This was an amazing experience! If I had one super power, I would want to fly like a bird, and this comes very close! Our pilot Troy is a fourth generation balloonist who, with a co-pilot, has crossed both the Atlantic and the Pacific in a hot air balloon. You could not be in better hands! He is friendly and extremely knowledgeable.
First time, first rate experience
Must-do activity when visiting Albuquerque. Especially if you miss the International Balloon Festival every October. The crew was informed and engaging. Champagne toast at the end. Wish the flight was longer. Amazing time!
A must do in Albuquerque!
Excellent experience flying this company. From setup, takeoff, flight, & landing amazing experience all around! Highly recommend them!
Everyone should do this!
We thoroughly enjoyed the ride and Captain Morgan. Very knowledgeable. If anything, we got there at the expected time arrival and had to wait until launch time. However, it was the day before the balloon festival started and there were a lot of people riding. Everyone real nice
If you use their website, be prepared for frustrations. Dont tell their CSR they have a problem. They are "perfect"
I am sure their flights are wonderful if you can figure out to book it. The website has serious problems and whoever designed it doers not understand modern website navigation (i.e. mobile access). I spent an hour trying before giving up in frustration I called their CSR which is the only thing worse than their website. I told her that I have given up on the website and would like to book a flight. Rather than saying "I'm sorry for your trouble, let me help you", she said "there is nothing wrong with our website," Result? I hung up and decided to find something else to do that day (my wife and my anniversary).
